In LaTeX (and perhaps other flavors of TeX too; I haven't checked)
saying \bf gets you a bold font. But this bold font is somewhat
larger than the standard font, so that in a table such as
\begin{tabular}{rr}
3.141593 & {\bf 2.718} \\
0.142857 & 0.000 %%%\\
\end{tabular}
the numbers won't line up properly.
How can I typeset bold numbers with the same horizontal (and ideally
vertical) spacing as the usual non-bold numbers?
Using \small\bf comes close, but still doesn't quite line up
horizontally, and is of course noticably smaller vertically.
